Whether they donated a door prize, use of services, or monetarily sponsored an event, everyone is vital to the continued success of the social. This event was an excellent way for the community to come out and appreciate our beautiful city park, as well as to spend time with family and friends.

Once again, many, many thanks to all who participated. We look forward to next year continuing this worthwhile tradition for the community.

Sincerely,

Tony and Ailesia Franklin
